Gut Yontif: A Patchwork Holiday Experience

The Heinz History Center’s Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives will celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hannukah with a one-night only, participatory experience that blends art and tradition.

On Saturday, Dec. 28, Rosalind will be showcasing the story of Hanukkah through hand-crafted zines and the illumination of hand-painted silk panels honoring the holiday.

Attendees will have the unique opportunity to take part in a Havdalah, or a ceremony marking the end of Shabbat or a Jewish holiday, led by the artist.

Inspired by the rich colors, textures, and life stories showcased in the Louise Silk: A Patchwork Life exhibition, the Gut Yontif: A Patchwork Holiday Experience series invites emerging artists to reimagine the themes of Sukkot, Chanukah, Tu B’Shvat, and Purim in new works of art.

Often said after the evening service that marks the start of a Jewish holiday, Gut Yontif is a Yiddish greeting that means “have a good holiday!”

Experience these holidays like never before through their unique artistic lenses.
